Creamy Apple Lime Cole Slaw

August 23, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Public service announcement: Adding apples to coleslaw is revolutionary. The crisp, sweet, crunchy fruit folded in with the cabbage is what dreams are made of, people. If you've never tried this before, it is very important that you stop what you are doing right this instant, go to your local grocery store, grab some apples and some other yummy ingredients, and MAKE THIS NOW. Now. Go. I'll ...

Brown Sugar Maple Baked Beans

July 18, 2016 by Annie Chesson 15 Comments

I am very upset with myself for never trying homemade baked beans before. My vast experience with them has been the following: open can of baked beans. Dump can into pot. Turn on heat. Cook until beans are warm. Consume. Are you judging me because I'm a food blogger and have only ever eaten canned baked beans? DON'T JUDGE ME I'M SORRRYYYYY. Better late than never, though, amIright? Can I just ...

30 Minute One Pot Hamburger Helper

July 14, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you have any meals that you used to eat growing up that, despite their unhealthy and processed-ness (?), you love because they're nostalgic? Or even if it's not nostalgia, you like eating them now because you never were allowed to eat them when you were a kid? My parents were pretty healthy people, so we NEVER had sugary cereals, bags of chips, or lunchables laying around our house. And of ...

Perfect 30 Minute Red Curry

July 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

Oh my gosh. Hold the phone. HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever consumed in my entire life. Food, drink, anything. First of all...allow me to preface... Up until a few years ago, I had never tried Thai curry. I had tried Indian curry, and I wasn't a big fan of that, so I thought that meant that I wouldn't like any curry. Then I went to a Thai restaurant, someone ...

30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet

June 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Can I confess something to you? I know you won't tell anyone. For my entire life - every single day of my entire life - I thought barbecue was spelled barbeque. When did I come to the realization that this is, in fact, false? I'm glad you ask. It was about five minutes ago. I had made my Pinterest image and everything (that I put at the bottom of each post) with barbecue spelled with a "Q." Let's ...

Zuppa Toscana [Olive Garden Copycat]

February 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 16 Comments

Have you ever been to Olive Garden? If you haven't been there, chances are you've heard of it. It's actually not my favorite restaurant ever - everything there is okay but not amazing. With one exception!! Can you guess what the exception is...? Yes! This soup! They have a soup there called "Zuppa Toscana," and it is basically my favorite thing on this whole planet. I am obsessed. If I go to ...

Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken

February 3, 2016 by Annie Chesson 30 Comments

Staaahhhppp I'm in love. So obsessed with this chicken. This is seriously the EASIEST recipe ever, yet it yields probably the most flavorful and moist chicken I have ever eaten in my life. Again...I'm obsessed. You know how sometimes when you cook just meat (rather than soups/stews/etc...) in a Crock-Pot, it turns out pretty dry? Tender, yes - but also dry! It makes me sad when this happens. I ...

Chicken Tortilla Soup

February 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 27 Comments

Yes. The answer to your question, yes, it tastes as good as it looks 👅👍😍👅. In case you missed that...it was one slurpy tongue (which signifies delicious food in my emoji dictionary - I don't know about yours), one thumbs up, one "heart eyes," and a second slurpy tongue (signifying more delicious food). This all roughly translates to the following: this soup rocks and you must make it and love it ...

Cashew Chicken

January 27, 2016 by Annie Chesson 42 Comments

Cashew chicken...one of MA FAVES when it comes to Chinese take-out. I love the different textures from the chicken, veggies, water chestnuts, and cashews. But the BEST part, in my opinion, is when the sauce kind of soaks into the cashews, softening them and loading them with delicious, saucy, flavor. You could say I am quite the expert on Chinese take-out. It is a go-to for Seth and I on lazy ...
